QUICK REMOTE ENTRY QUESTION

Honda Civic

I have a 97 Civic Ex coupe with a remote entry keychain. Recently the battery died and I replaced it. Now for some reason the remote LED light is always on and the remote does not work. Is the remote broken?

I tried pressing the valey button on the reviever but the locks did not cycle at all. Also, I am wondering if the remote is malfunctioning because as soon as the battery is put in the LED illuminates and does not go out unless you take out the battery.
